The seat won't stay up for cleaning or for male useage, is there an adjustment?

I (the male half) have no problem with keeping the seat up...for use or cleaning...it leans well against the toilet tank...and when done...slowly descends to seat itself on the bowl

Sorry Glow I am not aware of any adjustment. My seat has always worked fine. I really like it. Sorry you are having trouble with yours.

I have the same problem. I just installed a new seat on my Eljer toilet. I tried using the metal washers in all three positions, to no avail. The seat will not stay up. I called tech support, but they said the only adjustment is the metal washers. Not sure of my next move--I put the old yellowed, faded seat back on.Update: Amazon sent me a replacement and I am having the same problem: Lid stays up fine, but the seat will not stay in the up position! No Adjustments that I can see---moving slotted washers does nothing. I guess I will send this one back and get a non self closing lid.

I have two seats with no problems. You must have installed with the seat leaning forward. Reposition the seat screws so seat back is leaning against the tank

I was trying to figure a way to do that today. The only thing I could come up with was to possibly install a shut off valve on the T that goes to the unit. I don't know if that would affect the toilet too or not. It would be nice if it had a pressure adjuster on it. I just try to not pull the handle all the way up but it is very touchy.

mine doesn't adjust, it is set to the tallest. When I try to lower it, nothing moves? Does anyone know why? Thank you

See Antistatist answer of April 30. 2015. I agree. You should be just fine. Once adjusted, the seat is set.

sit on the seat, pull the handle up & slowly (kinda) get up. the seat height will rise until you let go of the handle.

Hmm, mine's adjustablee .... you may want to reset your seat and make sure there is nothing binding up preventing it from adjusting. However, make sure you sit in it when you adjust, the spring is seriously strong and need body weight to adjust, not just hand pressure.

One of the three levers on the right side underneath the seat adjusts the height. I am unsure of exactly what you mean, since the seat does not normally begin on the floor.

I have this problem also. The seat is easy to adjust but between my wife and I the handlebars are a major ordeal to adjust; there are four bolts that need to be removed, then move the handlebars and then replace the bolts. Not a quick fix.

Seat adjustment is not so good. There's a hand screw underneath the seat that has to be unscrewed nearly entirety in order to adjust the seat. Then it needs to be tightened when you find the spot you like. While not necessarily difficult, it is rather time consuming.

it isn't high enough to be of help in this case. the marketplace has numerous seats that would be more helpful check under "shower chairs".

Liquid soap not needed. You may have the seat rail upside down. Try flipping it over.

We had a grab bar installed beside the toilet. We also had a seat with handles and I found that the handles made it difficult to clean self, but without a grab bar the handles could help in getting up. We got it for my husband with a hip replacement. It only took him about a week until he no longer "needed" the grab bar. But the raised height really helped.

mine does not have this problem but my husband assembled the chair and put on the levers. perhaps they are not tightened enough.

I would suggest buying a new chair. These chairs are great for interim, until you can afford a better one. Made with all the care and craftsmanship of a moose poop.

I have just purchased the toilet and installed lately, have not thought about replacing yet. Try direct to Thetford, or my last toilet I went to home depotand bought an elongated seat. A slight medication and it worked. That's all I can offer. Bud

Not sure how to answer this. Could be toilet is not level, therefore causing this to happen. Have you tried to put it clear up and "hold" it for a second or two? Seems like this happened with my first one of these (this is my second purchase of this toilet seat and I LOVE mine) and we had to do this for a little while after we installed it--almost like it needed to be trained!! Try it -- can't hurt!
